Ottavia Li Volsi - Italian Tutor

Introduction

Hello! My name is Ottavia, and I am a native speaker of Italian from Sicily, Italy!

I have a bachelor鈥檚 degree in film studies and a Erasmus Mundus Master degree in Women鈥檚 and Gender Studies.
I also have a diploma specializing in Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language from the University for Foreigners of Siena.
I offer classes to students from 11 years and upward and have experience working with students from around the word in private as well as group classes.
I offer classes for Exam preparation (CILS) as well as specialized courses for College/University and tourists.
I am a very creative person so I always try to be creative with my students to experience interesting and amusing classes.
I love traveling and reading and I think that thanks to these two passions I deepened a sense of curiosity, interculturality and tolerance.
I am also very fascinated by languages, and I always challenge myself by learning new ones 鈥� Deutsch now!

I'm looking forward to our free trial lesson! :)

"My husband and I retired to a small fishing village on the coast of Italy and we wanted to be able to communicate with the locals, but there were no good Italian teachers. Live Lingau was our solution." Jan & Mare M. - Retired

"I had an advanced level of Italian due to the time I had spent in Seminary in the Vatican, but once I got assigned to my congregation, I was not able to keep my level up. I noticed the last time I visited Italy that I had lost a lot of my fluency. That is when I found 抖阴视频. I can feel the cobwebs being cleared out of my head already and the Italian is returning. Gratzi." Oran L. - Priest

"My Italian tutor is amazingly patient, knowledgeable, and reliable. As an older learner, I need lots of repetition and often feel like a total idiot but she never seems to mind. Because she is highly educated and intelligent, we always have interesting things to discuss. I love my sessions and have learned so much!" Kathryn T. - Unknown

"I've had an amazing experience with 抖阴视频 finding a teacher for learning Italian online. Matteo is a great teacher as well as someone I get on really well and look forward to my classes." Rita A. - Unknown
